Electronic evidence plays an increasingly important role in clients' cases in legal services work. Understanding the current case law and ethical rules governing the use of that electronic evidence is essential for attorneys. This training will explore the many technologies utilized by legal services clients, the New York ethical rules governing attorneys who are interacting with that electronic evidence, and the ways in which attorneys can realistically present evidence in the New York State courts, given the limited resources in most legal services offices. A mock trial at the conclusion of the program will illustrate the correct use of electronic evidence in direct examination and cross-examination and voir dire.

Within the context of representing the legal services client, faculty will review:

• On-going and emerging technology in litigation, including cell phones and tablets, and online content, such as social media and email
• Electronic evidence under New York State Law
• NY ethical rules governing electronic evidence
• Answers to your questions about the use of electronic evidence both at pretrial and trial

All legal services attorneys who want to enhance their litigation skills will benefit from attending this program.
